    Best Prop makers?

    I'm working on a special electric boat project, and our team needs a place to get a prop to fit a Konny Motors lower unit. Our biggest constraints is we need counter-rotating props (two shafts), and something around 7"x8.5" dimensions. Obviously, we need something like hydro props since they typically don't vent exhaust through the center hub.

    Any recommendations?

    **EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions so far, keep them coming. Also: by counter-rotating I mean I need a right hand and a left hand prop

    also in that dimentions, what is your projected speed for that hull... I assume fairly slow, so you MAy be able to modify an existing set of small inboard ski boat props down to the diameter and pitch you need.. may save you some cost...

    150aintenuff - you're right on the money. 'fast' for the demonstration will be 30-35mph.

    at that speed range id be looking to up the gearing in the trans and find a set of stock inboard props from like a mastercraft or similar... they are generally 13X 13 or some are even smaller ALOT cheeper than having a custom blade built.... but in 9X9 i know Michigan wheel has some available in their M series
